In fact, aren't those elderly guys also trying to buy a spot and store their cells and tissues at this stage so they can use them when they are about to die?
After the news spread in Konoha News, Konoha, which was already experiencing a large influx of people due to the Joint Chunin Exams, saw an even larger influx the next day.
Clearly, they were all there for that spot.
……
Konoha, the villa area where the Tsuchikage resides.
In the large hall, Heitu sat leaning back on the sofa, looking at the large LCD screen in front of him.
Behind him, Akatsuchi reported the latest intelligence with an honest and simple expression.
"After Konoha publicly announced the news, basically all the groups in the ninja world took action, including the seven groups in the Land of Earth."
"In addition, the six conglomerates that have been active in small countries by selling war equipment and Konoha technology items have also sent their trusted confidants to Konoha."
"It's fair to say that, based on the available information, all the wealthy people in the ninja world have gone crazy this time."
Hei Tu smiled, his gaze never leaving the LCD screen.
"Konoha made it clear that they have this technology, and also stated that the number of slots is limited. They are implying, both openly and subtly, that this technology may not be able to be replicated after this."
"As a result, these rich and cowardly guys will naturally go crazy for a spot. This is the best of times, with no war and no uncertainty, so of course they want to live another twenty years."
Red Earth remained silent, quietly standing behind Black Earth.
Heitu tossed a grape into his mouth, casually spat out the skin, and sighed.
"One of the very first spots...it's bound to be driven up to an astronomical price by those crazy people."
"Those who can be brought to participate in the Joint Chunin Exams are all the next generation of geniuses from various villages. How will the Kage of each village deal with such a large sum of money, or the quota itself?"
"Someone wanted to make Konoha the target of everyone's criticism, to be targeted by all the capital that it supported. But now, the ball has been kicked back."
"A genius who will determine the next ten or twenty years is far more valuable than a huge sum of money, or even an extension of twenty years of life..."
Kurotsuchi turned to Akatsuchi and said, "What a bastard! We Iwagakure people weren't involved in this at all, so why are you targeting us too?"
Chi Tu replied with a smile, "We have no ambition; this is the old man's advice."
Yes...we have no ambition.
It didn't exist before, and it's even less likely to exist now.
Before there is any clear news of the death of that person from Konoha...
No, Iwagakure will not have any ambitions until they witness that person's funeral; they will cooperate with everything.
If that day never comes, then let go of all resentment and hatred, and let hatred be completely forgotten in this generation.
In this way... Iwagakure becomes history, and the people of the Land of Earth can continue to live a good life.
……
In the neighboring villas.
After the Mabuyi barrier was set up, an iron plate appeared in the very center.
Compared to the remote video call technology developed by Konoha's Research Department II, Kumogakure would use the Sky Delivery Technique to transmit information when discussing sensitive issues.
Although it was a bit of a hassle, it was safe.
But this time, the information coming from the village was unusually brief, consisting of only one word: wait.
Wait?
What are you waiting for?
Mabui frowned deeply. Ever since Konoha released the news, every well-known group in the entire ninja world has been in an uproar.
Regardless of the quotas that will be released later, the quotas awarded as rewards for this Chunin Exam alone have made this group of people act like cats smelling fish.
If no measures are taken, those who were secretly targeting Konoha because of Changsheng Technology will instead become Konoha's supporters.
Not too many, one quota per year, two years, or five years is enough to control these guys who have amassed a lot of wealth.
After a long while, the iron plate was sent back by Mabuyi using a divine teleportation technique. This was a routine practice and a good habit of leaving no trace.
……
the next day.
The third round of the Chunin Exams was held on time, and all the candidates had already gathered in the waiting area early in the morning.
"Lutai, you're the last ones to arrive..."
Boruto walked over with a grin, patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "How about it? Feeling confident?"
Shikadai calmly replied, "You weren't the only one who underwent special training. With the limited chakra you can only create four shadow clones for a short time, you probably can't use those hand seal-less ninjutsu that can make you disappear for a short time without restrictions, right?"
"Ok?"
Boruto's eyes widened: "You bastard, you didn't even plan out a tactic specifically against me, did you?"
Shikadai replied helplessly, "Although the Chunin Exams are troublesome, if I'm eliminated early, it will probably be even more troublesome to deal with my mom when I get home."
At this moment, Ya Zi spoke up, "You're too confident. This guy's personality has changed a lot since he went to Lord Yun's place."
Sarada was somewhat surprised: "So Boruto has a trump card that we don't know about?"
Boruto: "(=_=) I said that's really all I have, do you believe me?"
Kizuna Iwabe slung the stick over his back: "This time, there's no Yako to help me. I have to rely on myself to become a Chunin."
Metal was a little nervous; even though he was sitting down, his legs were shaking uncontrollably.
The thought of being stared at by everyone in the room made him inexplicably want to find a place to hide.
Even psychological suggestion doesn't seem to be working now.
At this moment, Uchiha Yu, who had been waiting quietly, spoke up: "Our opponents this time will definitely go all out. The reward for first place alone is a huge sum of money."
"The reason why the village did not announce it before the Chunin Exams began was probably because they were worried that it would create a situation where many people would be eliminated first in a one-on-one battle."
Yu then looked at Boruto, who was already eager to try: "Don't let that thing bewitch you, Boruto! You may have a backup plan, but when things are hopeless, it's okay to admit defeat."
Boruto clenched his fist and waved it: "Are you kidding me? How could I admit defeat! Don't worry, I'll definitely be number one this time!"
Compared to the high spirits of these other individuals, the new generation of Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Akimichi Chocho and Yamanaka Hana, were whispering to each other.
The bag of potato chips was quickly divided up between the two, clearly indicating that they weren't too concerned about the Chunin Exams.
This generation of Ino-Shika-Cho is quite laid-back.
……
In the central section of the venue, the Fifth Hokage, Naruto, sat in the very center, with the other three Kage and Mabui arranged in a row.
As the person in charge of this Chunin Exam, Shikamaru stood behind Naruto.
The stands were now filled with spectators, most of whom were group representatives who had come to Konoha yesterday.
"I had heard rumors about Changsheng Technology before, but I didn't expect it to be true."
Heitu casually started the conversation, glancing at the expressions of the others out of the corner of his eye.
Chojuro chuckled helplessly, "This will drive these guys crazy."
Mabui hesitated for a moment, then said, "I heard that the cell and tissue storage business of Konoha Research Department 1 was very popular yesterday."
One person's comment after another has already brought up the issues of longevity technology and the plundering of wealth.
The Fifth Kazekage, Gaara, looked at the three of them and sighed: "I only hope that Konoha can stabilize these fanatical people. In any case, the lives of the people of the Land of Wind are the foundation of Sunagakure."
Naruto smiled and said, "The press release was the best suggestion from Brother Yun."
These words stunned the four of them.
It should be noted that since the major conference two years before the start of peace, that person has not intervened in anything for a long time.
So... does this mean that person is going to make some new move?
More than a decade ago, the daimyo districts of the entire ninja world were destroyed one after another in a very short period of time. Although it was the Akatsuki organization that took action, the high-ranking officials of the five great ninja villages all knew that it was the result of the unification of the wills of Uchiha Kumo and Uzumaki Sora.
If the other side then wants to unify the country by force and reaches an agreement with Uzumaki Sora...
Thoughts were churning deep inside me, but the next second I noticed that the area to the left of the center seemed to have quieted down.
Looking over, they saw the person who had just made them uneasy was now entering with his wife and sitting down on the left.
It was precisely because of this person's arrival that all the group representatives around that position fell silent.
The group representatives who were urgently dispatched to Konoha under special circumstances would inevitably remember this person's appearance on television.
That's exactly why they were stunned.
"I was wondering why there were two separate large booths in that area. Turns out this guy was there to check on his son's performance."
"Hey, are you selling your seat? I'd like to switch places, I want to be closer to this person, how about ten million taels?"
"Get out of here. You're not stupid, are you? You're not trying to get a bargain? I'll offer you 100 million, are you in or not?"
"One hundred million? Do you think sitting next to this lord is a lot of money, especially during this special period?"
"It's just a potential opportunity. If this person ignores us, we won't even break even!"
"Five hundred million taels, sir. Five hundred million taels. You can switch places with me and give me an account. It will arrive immediately!"
……
Jiraiya was completely bewildered.
He has been retired for many years, and this seat in the stands was specially reserved for him by that guy, Shui Men.
Boruto is, in a sense, the son of his apprentice's son. As an older person, he does want to see how the new generation performs.
But only five hundred million taels?
Now that Icha Icha Paradise has a live-action version, you think you can bribe me with 500 million taels?
Do you know who I am?
"How many of those who can sit here are short of money? If you want to buy a seat... you'll have to pay extra!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the group representatives who had gathered around rubbed their hands together and said that it was easy to negotiate, but a shout came from the other side of the stands, next to Uchiha Yun.
"Come on over here! This is the place! Highest bidder wins!"
